Motor problem in th rain

2002 Peugeot 1007
Car: Peugeot 1007

Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
My car goes like a dream until it rains, When it rains the motor splutters, will not go above 20,000rpm.If I turn off the motor and wait for the water to evaporate or what ever it does, the car starts again without any problem.

So now I am always nervous about driving in the rain, will the car go ok or will the water hit the problem area again ????

I Know its some electrical fault , but where it is , is another question, I had it checked at a Peugeot Dealer by the diagnostic and was given a all clear ???

I have read many subject on this issue with the 206 and a lot of owners have paid a lot of money, but the problem has not been resolved.

I cannot afford to take it to the garage and pay a lot of money and not to have the problem fixed. So I frequently check the wires and see if I can figure this out myself, but now after owning this car for 6 years I still have not found the rootcause.

If anybody has had the same problem and found the cause , without taking the car to a garage I would be really grateful to know , how to slove this , as its really "DOING MY HEAD IN ""

Take it you have tried spraying all the eletrics with one of the waterproofing sprays i.e

I agree with the above but make sure you do it when everything is dry or you may trap water in making the problem worse.

This has happened to me and only renewing the plug leads has fixed it. Check the leads for burnt or cut areas
